Anchor bolts support and hold materials together by embedding an anchor, fastener, bar or steel rod into concrete, metal and masonry for construction and industrial purposes. Various designs and types of material render specific application where structures need securing to other constructions.

Types of anchor bolts include swaged, hook, crane, sleeve and wedge. A high strength bolt typically carries an identification code from the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), for instance A325 or A490. High temperature bolts provide consistent tensile loads in the 500 to 1800 degree level. Mechanical properties relate to the bolts' performance under certain loads. Shear strength measures the maximum load before failure. When purchasing anchor bolts consider the following:

1. Look for anchor bolt prices that fit your purpose and quantity required.

2. Buy anchor bolts by function for specific applications.

3. Know in advance or ask a sales rep for information regarding load and other technical questions.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Locate concrete anchor bolts and pin drive expansion anchors


Mechanical and epoxy bolts typically used in concrete and masonry affix structures to various masonry materials. Expansion anchors provide holding power with masonry walls and concrete. Typically, for heavy duty anchoring use wedge, medium duty consider a sleeve anchor and drive anchors for light duty.

I recommend: Click “Fasteners” for the type of concrete anchor needed by category that includes concrete and concrete-block-brick at Atlantic Fasteners. Continue selecting by narrowing the category until you arrive at the price and specs. Select an anchor suitable for concrete, plasterboard or masonry from the list then choose size to obtain pricing at Bolt Depot. Select by product to view specs and pricing that includes flanged alligator, pin drive and wall anchors at McFeely’s. Order large sized right angle bend anchor bolts at Portland Bolt & Manufacturing Company.

Find steel anchor bolts


Construction of steel anchor bolts varies. Different shapes offer solutions for many applications.

I recommend: Contact AA Anchor Bolt Inc., for L-Anchor, J, bent, welded plate, pipe and galvanized anchor bolts. For construction anchor bolts click by name at Haydon Bolts then fill in the “On-Line Quote Form” or phone for pricing. Find the right steel anchor bolt size for wedge type stainless steel anchor bolts up to 5 1/2 inch lengths at QC Supply LLC. Choose from a variety of anchor types including stainless steel and steel zinc plated at Mutual Screw & Supply.

Get epoxy anchor bolts


Bolts and epoxy adds strength to anchoring into concrete and masonry.

I recommend: For 3/8 to 1 1/4 inch epoxy anchor bolts with stud assembly see the products at Stampers Store. For epoxy anchor bolts go to Atlantic Bolt, Inc. and fill out the request form or phone for pricing.

Choose an industrial anchor bolt


These anchor bolts provide solutions for a diverse industrial environment.

I recommend: Go to UNISORB and select product from “Anchoring Alignment Systems” that include vector bolts, jake bolts, capsule anchor and fixators for machine tools, presses, conveyors and other industrial uses. See “Sales” or “Contact Us” for pricing or more information. For 3/8 to 6-inch diameter anchor bolts go to FABSCO CORP., then request a quote. Go to Castle Wholesalers to buy wholesale anchor bolts with 12 to 18 inch lengths.

Buy anchor fasteners


These mechanical devices hold components together and find many applications in the construction industry.

I recommend: Choose toggle bolt, wing anchors, plastic, drop-in, expansion, hollow wall, lag shield, wedge, machine screw and L-anchors at Fastening Products of Lancaster, Inc., then contact for pricing. Order from the list of anchor fasteners at InStock Fasteners, Inc.
